Afternoon visitor out my window

Day 181 of 366

It finally rained this afternoon.  It was a nice (but temporary) break from the heat.

Unfortunately, it didn't last and wasn't enough to help our poor lawn

or relieve this severe drought.

Day 180 of 366

There are no words to express how I feel about this!

This is Fireball, love of my life and father of my children.

Yes, he is doing the dishes. I am the luckiest.

Happy Father's Day!

Day 168 of 366

Let's play again.  Do you know what this is?

I love color.  Don't you?

Day 166 of 366

The answer to the question on Day 161 of 366 is

a fire hydrant!

This one is right across the street from my house.

Good job, Scott!

I was so busy cleaning that I emptied the dishwasher

and then forgot to put the clean dishes away!

Day 163 of 366

I had a tiny (less than 1/4") visitor this morning.

This time he was on the outside of my bathroom window.

This allowed me the view of his underside.

I am always amazed at the things the camera will let you see.

Playing by the rules

Day 158 of 366

I had originally planned to post a picture of cloud watching.

But when I saw this opportunity, I could not pass it up. 

Day 157 of 366

Here is one happy guy!  He found lots of helicopter seeds in our gutter.

It made for a nice mid-morning snack.
